Prominent The room of the Senate committee on appro- Priations was tenanted for some time to-day by residents of the District who were anxious to secure favorable action by the committee on items in the District appropristion bill in which they are interested. Commissioners Webb and Wheatley were present, ready to answer questions. Messrs, John Joy Edson and A. 8. Pratt asked for an appropriation of $25,000 for the National homeopathic hospital, The board of managers of the hospital think the useful- ness of the institution is much impaired by the lack of sufficient and suitable buildings, The: — to Leone wards tenia oan espe col- ore nts, a mate: and a new Kitchen.

LOUISIANA PLANTERS CALL ON COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE COLMAN, The delegation from the Louisiana Sugar Growers’ association, which is now inthe city, called in a body this morning upon Commis- sioner of Agriculture Colman and were pre- sented by the Hon. Mr. Wilkinson. Mr. John Dymond, the president of the association, ad- dressed a few remarks to the commissioner, thanking him, on behalf of the association, for what he had done in introducing and de- veloping the new diffusion process in the man- ufacture of sugar from the sugarcane. Mr, Dymond said that planters could no longer af- ford to continue the old process of making sugar, and that the new process was certain to supplant it. He said that even the poorest of the sugar planters would get out of their dif- ficulties much quicker by adopting the im- provement whic! been introduced by the department of agriculture. coming from such a source, is,of unusual sig- nificance in its relation to the future sugar production of this country. It will be remem- ered that this process is as well adapted to the sorghum as to the sugar cane. Interior Department Changes.

THE HOUSE DEADLOCK. The House was still in a deadlock up to a late hour this afternoon, every effort to adjourn having proved fruitless. The democrats tried to hold a caucus this afternoon, but ‘owing to the deadiock they were compelled to postpone it until this evening, when they hope to come to an agreement and to fix upon a date for the Oklahoma bill, It is thought, however, very doubtful if they will succeed, DISAPPOINTED DIPLOMATS, The most disappointed people at the action of the Senate in going into secret session to discuss Mr. Edmunds’ resolution re- garding the attitude of European governments toward interoceanic canals on the American continent, were the the diplomats from the central and South American states. They are vitally interested in tne matter, and, having missed the open discussion of Saturday, they determined to hear that of to-day and almost filled the diplomatic gal- lery. When the motion to go into secret ses- sion was a opted they departed, greatly disap- | Semares a expressing their inability to un- lerstand the policy of Congress, or a branch of it, which varied so from day to day. NEW MEXICO WANTS TO BE A STATE, The citizens of San Miguel county, New Mex- ico, in mass meeting assembled, December 27, 1888, adopted resolutions asking Congress to admit the territory to the United States.

Resting upon the casket was am anchor, formed of beautiful white flowers. A cluster of palms also lay upon the casket. Near by were other floral tributes from friends. The immediate family and the large circle of relatives occu- pied seate near the casket. The services were simple, but impressive. Rev. Dr. Bartlett, the oe 2 of the New York avenue Presbyterian church, read the appropriate Scripture selec- tions. Then a quartet, consisting of Prof. Paul, Andrew ©. Bradley, Miss Nettie Bradley and Miss Deseret, sang, and Rev. Dr, Sunder- land offered an affecting prayer, in which he alluded to the sterling character and unblem- ished life of the deceased. While the mem- bers of the family were taking their places in the carriages the quartet sang another appro- priate selection, ji a casket was preceded ee the a by wu following, acting as |-bearers: Henr; Willard, B Francis Ries F.

DeHughes, alias 8. M. Newman, alias G, M. St. Clair, on the charge of false pretenses, was called—Mr. Campbell Carrington for the defendant and Assistant Dis- trict attorney Mullowney for the government. DeHughes was arrested for false pretenses in obtaining 49 from Mrs. Kate Smith under | promise of marriage, and subsequently it was | ascertained that while acting as an agent of an insurance company of Baltimore he wrote to the agents there that his daughter was lying very ill, and asked for an advance of $100, and then sending a telegram that the daughter had died. The check was sent him, whereas he had no daughter here, and the whole pretenses were false. DETECTIVE RAFF'S TESTIMONY. The first witness was Detective Raff, who tes- tified that he had a conversation with the pris- oner when the latter was under arrest in the 12th-street_station-house. When witness told Newman, that he had no right to represent that his child was dead he replied that that made no difference, for he was employed by the company. He ‘at first declined to state where his room was, and witness told him he would find it. The next day witness went to the room and found some letters addressed to Dallas M, DeHughes, and he answered, “It is a man whose life I have insured.” An objection was made and a recess taken, A POSTPONEMENT. Mr. Mullowney, in answer to the court, stated that he was not conversant with the case, and did not until this morning know that he was expected to prosecute. He also stated that Judge Hoge and others of the oflice were sick. The court directed a recess, stating that he hoped the case would be prepared. fter recess the court respited the jury till morning, stating that the case was not in con- dition to proceed wi State Patronage. SENATOR QUAY WRESTLING WITH TEE SUBJECT. Senator Quay was the central fignre to-day in séveral little conferences on the floor of the Senate, The longest and apparently most im- portant of these was held with Representa- tive William D. Kelley. Cabinet matters are resting for awhile, and the practicai politicians are looking after the ends of the strings which they expect to pull on state patronage under the incoming adminis- tration, With such affairs the silent Senator is now wrestling. He expects to leave Wash- ington about the latter part of next week for Florida and there he will seek the rest he needs. He does not expect to return for a month or more, Removal of the Indian Burean. THE NEW QUARTERS IN THE ATLANTIC BUILDING TO BE OCCUPIED TO-MORROW, To-day Secretary Vilas signed a lease with A. T. Britton, the president of the Atlantic build- ing company, for the use of all the rooms on the eighth floor and ten rooms on the seventh floor of that building. The lease is annual, with the privilege of renewal yedrly for five years, The rooms will be occupied by the Indian bureau, which is now located in the building of the Second national bank, on 7th street. The removal to the new quarters will be made to-morrow. The Atlantic baild- ing is on the south side of F street, between 9th and 10th streets, and was recently built by a company composed of citizens of this city. The inauguration committee occupy quarters in this building, which were tendered for that uurpose by the company. The new accommo- lations are considered by the officials of the Indian bureau as much ‘superior to their pres- ent quarters. Real Estate Matters. T. W. Smith has bought, for $4,100, of J. H.

Settled They Want an Extra Session. Judge Moody, one of Dakota's Senators-elect, has just arrived in this city, after having stop- ped over in Indianapolis to consult with Gen. Harrison on matters of interest to those terri- tories which are now seeking admission as states. Mr. Moody is extremely cautious in his expressions just now, because he fears that his words may be quoted as coming from Gen. Harrison. He says, however, that the chances are all in favor of an extra session of the Fifty- first “The leaders of the democrats in the House,” said he toa Star reporter to-day,” are too far aparton this subject; they cannot agree. If they could come to an understanding as to Da- kota’s fitness for statehood there would be a renewal of the old trouble on the question of division, Of course it is ible that this Con- gress may do something for us, but it seems to me to be rather improbable just now.” There will be a delegation of Dakotans in town during the latter portion of this week. Fifteen or twenty of the more prominent citizens of the territory are now on their way here to do all in their power to push legisla~ tion looking to the speedy admission of the territory as two states. The delegation will be headed by Judge Bartlett Tripp, chief justice of the supreme court of Dakota, and Gov.-elect Mellette. The two great political parties are about equally represented in the delegation. if it becomes apparent that nothing will be done by the House before the 3d of March, then the delegation will endeavor to secure from republicans who will be in the next House a memorial to President Harrison asking him to call an extra session. ‘DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. SIDE TRACKS FOR INAUGURATION TRAINS. The District Commissioners have addressed a letter to Senator Ingalls in relation to a bill to authorize the Commissioners to permit the temporary occupation and crossing of the streets by the B’and O. railroad tracks to meet the demands of increased travel at inauguration times, The Commissioners say that “there seems to be no reason why the accompanying bill should not become a law with the excep- tion that the Commissioners believe it to be far more preferable if discretionary authority should be vested in them permitting all rail- road companies entering the city of Washing- ton to lay dation of traffic for a period not exceeding 30 days during any influx of the people of the United States into the city of Washington. The passage of a bill of this character would seem to be reasonable and proper.” EXTRA POLICEMEN FOR THE INAUGURATION. The District Commissioners to-day drew up and sent to Chairman Hemphill, of the House District committee, a draft of a bill provid- ing “that $7,000, or as much thereof as may be necessary, payable from any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and from the revenues of the District of Columbia, in equal parts, is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasury, not otherwise appro- priated, to enable the Commissioners of the istrict of Columbia to maintain public order and to protect life and property from the 28th of February to the 9th of March, 1889, both inclusive. Said Commissioners are hereby au- thorized and directed to make all reasonable regulations necessary to secure the preserva- tion of public order and protection of life and property, and fixing fares by public convey- ances during said period, Any person violat- ing any of such regulations shall be liable for each offense to afine not to exceed $25 in the Police Court of said District.” The Commis- sioners estimate for 400 special policemen. THE RIGHTS OF A FRAME HOUSE. The question has been raised at the District building whether a frame honse has any rights that a brick house is bound to respect. A few days ago Mr. Frank W. Adams wrote to the Commissioners as follows: “Iam the owner of a frame house in this city. The house is en- tirely on my own land. My neighbor wishes to build a party wall, and in order to do so will be compelled to tear the side of my house out be- cause my house is built close up to the division line. Will you kindly inform me what the pro- visions of the building regulations are upon this subject, and whether or not my neighbor can tear my wall down in this manner? My house has been standing for a long time.” The Commissioners to-day wrote to Mr. Adams that “under a decision of the court the builder of a brick house has the right to remove a sufficient part of an abutting frame building to place his wall half over the party line, on condition that he makes good all incidental damages to the frame structure.” ‘THE MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE BRIDGE. Recently, at the request of Maj. Raymond, Messrs. G. W. G. Ferris & Co., bridge engi- neers, of Pittsburg, examined the new bridge constructed over Rock creek by owners of property along the line of the Massachusetts avenue extension. This is a private struc- ture, and as it has been announced was intended only as a temporary bridge. A bill is now pending in Congress to appropriate 150,000 to build a bridge at Massachusetts avenue. The examination referred to was made because citizens timated a desire to turn the bridge over to the District, at the same time dedi- cating its approaches to the public use, The Commissioners will not, Raymond said to-d: i er structure In_order to Pittsburg | informed on the subject experts were asked for their opinion. These experts report that the sec- tion of the end-panel top chord should be 14.13 square inches, while the contractor has put in but 12.70. They say that the com- pression members, such as the Phenix column used in this structure, have long since received the general disapproval of American engineers, the principal objection __ to | such construction being its inaccessibility Appears, & d painting. The finis! of the bridge, they believe, is much below what it should be for a structure in this local- ity, and not equal to that required for railway structures. They say “the specifications for the structure have not been com- plied with in regard to the proportioning of the principal columns. While the bridge is perfoclly safe for ordinary traffic, they would recommend, in the face of the several defects which they mention, that the District purchase the structure. trict buildings how far the Commissioners and building inspector have authority over a bridge erected as the one in question has been erected, entirely on private property. Under the old regulations ‘“bridges® were especially named as among structures coming under the regulations. The word was struck out inthe revision made by Col. Ludlow. Building aes, pe Entwisle thinks the Commissioners would have power to close the approaches to an _ unsafe bridge. In the case of the Aqueduct bridge Col. Ludlow condemned and closed it. This action led to a settlement between the bridge owners and the government, and the erection of the free bridge. THE NAYLOR ROAD. Dr. Tindall, the secretary of the District Commissioners, has written to Mr. 8. M. Gol- den in relation to his request to have Naylor road included in the schedule of roads for im- provement next year, “that $3,000 or #4,000 would put it in fair condition, but that it is too late for the Commissioners to submit an esti- mate for it, and the only way to get it before Congress is for you to present it to the Senate committee on ees which is now considering the trict appropriation bill for 18 Capt. Symons, in re on Mr. Gol- den’s letter, says the Naylor road will be of great importance as soon as the bri across the Eastern branch of Pennsylvi avenue is completed, LIQUOR LICENSES, The Commissioners Saturday afternoon ap- pom and rejected a number of applications lor 3 liquor licenses.

Senator Quay Among the Visitors There To-day. Senator Quay was at the inanguration head- quarters to-day. This is his first visit since the committee opened their rooms. Col. Britton was not in his office and Mr. Quay talked with Col. Swords, who told him of the progress made in the arrangements for the inaugura- tion. Mr. James E.

The bids will be received up to January 14. 4 EYMN FROM NEW ENGLAND. An Episcopal clergyman in New England has Written a hymn, a copy of which he sends to Chairman Britton, relying on him to work it in as a part of the inaugural ceremonies. He de- scribes himself ‘‘as one of the many clergymen of our country who gave their vote to Gen. Harrison at the last election.” The hymn has six verses, and begins with the lines— “God of our fathers, whose command From darkness called the radiant light.” No disposition has been made as yet of this contribution, as the committee om poetry has not been appointed. VISITORS COMING FROM ALL QUARTERS, W. L. Davis, the colonel of the first regiment of infantry, Iowa national guards, notifies the committee that his command will participate in the inaugural parade. The Henry K. Boyer club, of Philadelphia, proposes to bring here =rany ave men, A correspondert im Yorkshire, N.

At the meeting of the inaugural executive committee Saturday evening the plan of Louis D. Wine’s committee to decorate the Avenue with arches was considered. While the gen- eral plan was commended, yet it was concluded that the arches would interfere with the a pearance of the parade and the display of the flambeau clubs. The report was not adopted and the committee will further consider the matter, The music committee was ordered to close contracts with Beck's band and orchestra, of Philadelphia, and with the Marine band, to furnish music for the ball, Beck's band is to furnish one hundred pieces for #1,700, and the Marine band fifty pieces for #750, The military committee hasso far received fifty-five requests for quarters for militia or- ganizations and for positions in line.

Symons Says | Plats Made Before its Passage Are Not Affected by it. Referring to the controversy about subdi- visions, Capt. Symons said to a Sra reporter to-day that he desired to correct any impression | that might have been made that his recent ac- | tion or the action of the Commissioners or the | opinion of Attorney Riddle had anything what- | ever to do with subdivisions made and platted and recorded before the law,of last August re- quiring all future subdivisions to be made in conformity with the plan of the city of Wash- ington went into effect. “It is not intended in any manner,” said Capt. Symons, “to disturb these old subdi- | visions until Congress makes specific laws to | that effect. The case at issue is one in which a subdivision was made, surveyed and platted since the law of last August wentintoeffect. The subdivision is not in conformity with the plan of the city; it is not even in conformity with lan of the adjoining subdivision of Brooklands. It is laid out with narrow | Streets, running diagonally to the points of the compass and is in all respects just sucha subdivision as the law of last August was in- tended to prevent.

Symons says he has not to his knowl- edge been “severely criticised,” as has been stated, except by the parties interested in the West Brookland subdivision, and he don’t ex- = unfavorable criticism from any others, cer- inly not from real estate dealers who were instrumental in having the law of August 27 passed, know its value, and desire its enforce- ment for the general benefit of the District, — THE SCOTT EXCLUSION ACT. A Case Before the U. S. Supreme Court to Test Its Constitutionality. A motion was made in the Supreme Court of the United States to-day by ex-Gov. Hoadley, of Ohio, to advance for argument the case of Chae Chan Ping, appellant, against the United States. The appellant was a Chinese laborer who departed from the United States for China on June 2, 1887, first having secured a return certificate from the collector of the port of San Francisco as required bylaw. He returned to the United States on October 7, 1888, but permission to land was refused on the thatthe return certificate had been declared void by the Scott Chinese exclusion act of Oc- tober 1, 1888, Chae Chan Ping then sued out awritof habeas corpus in the United i circuit court, which re} an ay was taken to this court.
